What to wear: Triathlon

Last summer, when I decided to do a sprint triathlon, I wasn't too nervous about the race. It's not that I was cocky -- far from it -- I just knew that, regardless of how long it took, I would cross that finish line and feel fantastic. There was one aspect I was really nervous about though -- figuring out what to wear.

Whenever I looked at pictures of triathlons or saw them on TV, everyone was either wearing race suits specifically made for triathlon, which was well out of my budget, or sporty swimsuits, which is fine for swimming, but I don't have the confidence to run in front of people in a bathing suit unless I'm actually on the beach.

What I discovered is that you can wear just about anything you want. Ideally, you'll find a race day outfit that does the following:

What to wear: Yoga

If you're thinking about attending your first yoga class, first of all, congratulations! All kinds of people enjoy the benefits of yoga, and you're about to join them!

You should know that, as long as you're wearing something that's comfortable, doesn't restrict movement, and won't make you too hot, any clothes you choose should be fine. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when packing your gym bag for yoga class:

Play golf like Luke Wilson (or at least look like him on the course)

There's no doubt that Luke Wilson is a certified Hollywood hottie. He always looks comfortable, whether he's on the red carpet, jogging, or heading out for a day of golf (even sporting this cheesy mustache!).

Puma obviously recognized this as a marketable trait (in addition to the fact that Wilson has been ranked a Top 40 Hollywood Golfer by Golf Digest) and enlisted him, along with pro golfer Johan Edfors, to create a line of specialty golf products. We can expect to see chrome details and high quality Merino wool in the collection, along with personal color combinations and selections. It's all inspired by golfers of the 1950's, when dressing for the course meant dressing.

Wilson's selections are reported to be darker, casual colors, with Edfors opted for bright colors like pink and green. Additionally, there's rumored to be a golf shoe that can be worn off the course by removing the spikes. Don't plan on waiting until you get your newest Luke Wilson wear to bust out your clubs, though -- we won't see this collection until May.

What to wear: Beach volleyball

To start this off, let me clarify that I'm not talking about bumping around an inflatable ball with the cute boys (or girls) you saw down the beach. I'm talking about serious, score-keeping, diving into the sand volleyball, with points and rules and everything.

Whether you're opting to play in your first tournament or you're meeting up with some serious players for the first time, you want to make sure you're properly attired. In no way does that mean you need to go out and buy the same bathing suit that Kerri Walsh or Mike Lambert wear, but there are certain items that will make you a little more comfortable:

What to wear: Kickboxing

Are you thinking about incorporating kickboxing into your fitness routine? Good for you! It's a blast and a serious workout. You're sure to work up a sweat, burn tons of calories, and feel great afterward (even if you are a little sore).

If you're anything like me, you want to make sure you look the part when you walk in for your first class or training session -- I don't mean that you need to have all of the authentic gear or anything, but you should know what attire and equipment is necessary for the best results. Your class or trainer will likely provide a lot of the equipment, but you still have to provide your wardrobe:
